The Committee on Ways and Means re-
ported that they had examined the books
and accounts of Highway Commissioners

Highway Commissioner from any attempt
At "boodleism." and on motion Of Alder

The Committee on Ordinances reported
In favor of granting a franchise to the Val
ley City Cable Street Railway Company,
for the construction OF . cable road In
Ottawa, Fulton and Stcesght-sts., in accord
ance with the petition presented two weeks
ago. The report was signed by Alderman
DeGraaf aud Hayward. but the latter said
that since signing the report he had come
to the conclusion that better route for the
proposed road could be sesecteS. The re-
port was objected 10 because i. was not
signed by majority OF the Committee.
Alderman Pantlind signed the report, and
then Alderman Hayward withdrew his
signature, leaving only two names on the
report. The objection TO considering the
report was renewed, and the Mayor ruled
the report out OF order on the ground that
II was minority report, and no majority

Grazfi appealed from the decision of the
chair, without effect, the Council sustaining
the May or's ruling.

A motion To require the special com nit
tee on cable road ordinances to report at the

Csnal-st. ought TO show . disposition 10
help themselves before asking the Council
10 help them. Alderman Partlind moved

sideraiion De discharged. and that ell such
